Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

Citrullination, a transformative protein post-translational modification, is gaining recognition for its wide-ranging impact on cellular function and human disease. This process, driven by the enzyme ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

An international study using artificial intelligence has shown that our personalities alter the expression of our genes. The findings shed new light on the long-standing mystery of how the mind and ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

HOUSTON, NOVEMBER 24, 2025 ― Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside ...

Gene therapy has a reputation as a one-time intervention that has a lifelong effect. It’s an all-or-nothing proposition. But what if it wasn’t? What if gene therapy could be dialed up or down, on a ...
